Taking a look at the informal definition of a Graph Store from the SPARQL
Update editor's draft:
[[[
A Graph Store is a repository of RDF graphs managed by a single service.
Like anÂ RDF Dataset <http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/#sparqlDataset>
Â operated on by SPARQL, a Graph Store contains one unnamed graph and zero or
more named graphs. Unlike an RDF dataset, named graphs can be added to or
deleted from a graph store. A Graph Store need not be authoritative for the
graphs it contains.
]]]
It looks like this can be re-used verbatim - i.e., the idea of a Graph Store
seems to work as is for both protocols. There is a reference to a formal
definition later in the document that I cannot find.

I could probably just substitute the common 'Graph store' term for ever
reference to 'dataset' in the HTTP update specification.

Beyond re-using the graph store term, what other terminology did you have in
mind? The indirect identification portion describes what determines the
'request URI' of the operation, but otherwise, the mechanism is the same.
